Your Testimony

As I look around me at the way people are struggling, the way people deal with temptations, sickness, disease, lack of peace, lack of joy, financial burdens, and much more, something occurs to me.

Satan is trying to steal your testimony.

John 10:10 tells us that he is a thief, he comes to steal, kill, and destroy.

If you are born-again, he can't take your salvation away from you. So he tries a different tactic--he tries everything he can to steal your testimony. He doesn't want you walking in victory, walking in health, walking in peace and joy, walking in prosperity. He knows that when you do, you are dangerous.

When you are victorious, you are a threat to Satan's plans.

You need to know where these attacks are really coming from. You need to know that it's not God's punishment. It's because the devil is afraid of you. You have to know there is a spiritual battle going on behind the scenes.

The last thing he wants is you spreading the word, telling your story, giving a testimony of God's power and grace working in your life.

II Corinthians 10:3-4
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.

Use your weapons to fight this war. Your weapon is God's Word--read it, speak it, mull it over. It will change your life. It will change your situation.
